"Delphiniums at Redesdale", Oil on Panel, 12x9"

In springtime I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to paint this beautiful walled garden at a private turn-of-the-century residence tucked back in rolling hills near the banks of the James River.

This garden was designed by Charles Gillette, who is pretty famous around Virginia for his formal garden designs on stately homes such as Agecroft Hall, The Virginia House, and Tuckahoe Plantation. I believe he also had a hand in some of the early designs of the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. The rain fell softly off and on during this painting. At several points things got pretty soggy, and I found myself jostling my brushes, paper towels, and my painting umbrella, which I was using as a rain umbrella for myself, my painting, and my palette. Oh the things we do for art!
